Topic: Our First RV (Read 1021 times)

Our dreams of becoming fulltime RVers is one step closer to being reality. Today we purchased a 34 ft 1995 Fleetwood Bounder motorhome. After looking at several that just didn't meet our needs this one had everything we wanted and more.

Taking the road less traveled usually means a few bumps along the way, but a lot more freedom and happiness.

Welcome to the forum. Just a side note, make sure (if you already haven't) check the manufactures date code on the tires. I'd hate to have you break down on the side of the highway with a blown tire and a lot of damage to the RV. Tires are typically good for 7 to 8 years before they need to be replaced. Even if the tread looks brand new, check the dates. Enjoy and safe travels.

The Bounder was the first to offer a "full basement", as opposed to just some compartments tucked here & there underneath. Basically the body was made tall so the interior floor could be raised enough to provide a continuous space for storage underneath.

Congratulations! We too are first time RV'ers and bought a similar rig. A1992 Damon Challenger with the 454 Chevy frame. She gets 5.1 mpg pulling our motorcycles on a 6 X 10 trailer, but we don't care! She runs and drives like new at 115,000 miles. Bought in September, taking her on our 3rd trip of 4 days next week. Really enjoying it!!!
